Choosing the size for your room

Wondering how big a gas fireplace your room needs? A unit that's too large can overheat the room; one that's too small looks lost and does little. Makers publish heat ratings and room guidance for each model.

Our specialists size the unit by your room's area, ceiling height and how you'll use it, from a cozy glow to real heat, and they check the vent route can carry the model you like. The options that fit are priced side by side. Adjustable flames widen the choice. Speak with our pros about sizing your gas fireplace in Orange Heights by calling (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Storm wind and wall terminations

Storms passing over Orange Heights can drive rain and debris at a wall termination. The vent maker's listed termination is designed for that when it's installed to the manual. Our pros fit the termination exactly as the maker describes and seal the wall around it, so wind-driven rain can't find its way in beside the pipe.

Venting out the back or out the top

Many direct-vent units ship set up to vent out the back and can be converted to vent out the top, following the manual's steps. Rear venting suits a unit on an outside wall; top venting lets the pipe rise before it turns out the wall or goes up through the roof.

Which one your installation uses depends on the wall, the framing and the vent table.

Our specialists choose the setup that gives the cleanest route, convert the unit if needed, and note it on the plan. A top-vented unit may need a taller frame, and that's planned in. Either way, it's the manual's steps.

The first burns in a new unit

New gas fireplaces smell for a while as paints and binders cure. Makers call it normal and advise opening windows and running a fan until it passes. One maker recommends a long first burn, several hours with the blower off, to get it over with.

Our pros give you your unit's break-in steps noted on the quote, since they vary by maker.

The smell should fade after the first few uses. A rotten-egg smell is different: that's gas, and the manual's steps are to get out and phone the gas supplier once outside. The written steps stay with the manual. Any question during those first fires is one call away.

Fitting the barrier screen

The glass on these units gets hot enough to burn. The 2015 revisions to ANSI Z21.88 and Z21.50 brought in barrier screens for units whose glass exceeds a set temperature, and newer units ship with one that's meant to stay installed.

During installation, the barrier is fitted and checked to sit properly in front of the glass. It's easy to leave off when the finish is going on, and it shouldn't be.

In homes with children or pets, it's one of the most important parts of the whole installation, and it's pointed out at handover. If the screen is ever removed for cleaning, it goes back ahead of your next fire.
